The Heart Gallery is a unique way to help children in foster care find adoptive families. The children are paired with renowned photographers to create portraits that capture the depth and individuality of each child. The photographs are exhibited with the hope that it will touch others and inspire them to adopt a child. First conceived by Cathy, the New Mexico Children, Youth and Families Department took off with the idea in 2001. Today there are Heart Galleries in 45 states and in 2005 a national Heart Gallery was established in Washington DC. Search for children awaiting adoption in the U.S. at www.heartgalleryofamerica.org.
